Frey shuffles her gear a bit before returning the blade into the lance's hilt, "I can eat meats or grains, though I prefer grains, and luckily I don't need too much water. So we need only pack enough for about two and a half to make the trip. I think I can handle the food though." The fact that his blade didn't dull left her curious, but that could be a question for on the road. "We will need sharpening tools for our weapons, if we're expecting any form of combat to occur which we should if it was an attack. I'll grab those while out buying food too." She left the group while giving Thorvald a salute, and somewhat ignored Nihonto's hint at alcohol. She didn't drink in the slightest, and she didn't think Thorvald did either. In her opinion it was better to carry actually usable food and drink than poison for the mind, despite the stories she'd heard about how Nihonto liked it. "Yeah, tea sounds good." She called back to imply that she had no plans for alcohol.

The first place she stopped was a vendor she came to at the end of every work period to procure bread and grains for the next week, a Vaporeon. She gave a curt nod and stated, "Greetings Niadeen, how does the day treat you?" The vaporeon blinked, a bit confused at Frey's prescence there, but recovered and leaned over the counter, "You're here early this week. They give you a day off?" Frey shrugged, "Nope, going on a journey! Should be fun. Remember the ruckus in the square. I kind of got dragged into it." The small talk lasted for a short while, but Frey didn't really let on too much information. Eventually she got a weaved basket full of bread and another half filled with rice, she remembered they needed meat too...perhaps, she assumed Nihon would have needed that. If she recalled he said smoked meat. "I'll be heading to Bolen's but do you know anyone who sells smoked meat around here Niadeen?" Niadeen shook her head, supposedly there were those that sold normal meat around but not salted or smoked, "You should also buy some salt to keep it for the travel." Niadeen suggested to Frey, pointing out a vendor to her that sold said material.

Frey wandered over to that vendor, the preservative was quite expensive, but she knew what salt did to meat, however she didn't know whether or not Nihonto would mind having his meat taste like salt. She decided to save up some of the money and suggest the vendor to him before they left. This led her to seek out Bolen's for tea like she mentioned earlier, she ordered a few leaf kits for the road, one of which had cinnamon in it, it smelled nice to her. She stopped by her quarters to grab her tea making supplies and wandered to a different part of town to look for the meat.

When she entered the market that she didn't usually go to, she was bombarded with several people who wanted to make her sales offers, it was a little daunting, she would ask someone if they knew where she could get smoked meat only to get a negatory response and a tired look, none of them were as helpful as the vendors she was used to and she was dragged around to several stores that she didn't want anything from at all, eventually she pulled herself away from a vendor who was trying to convince her that she [i]needed[/i] this bone polish for her helmet and waved her paws in front of herself, "I think I'm good..." She told him before heading to Nihonto again to let him know that she had no luck on the smoked meat.

Upon meeting up with the Typhlosion again she stated, "I got a good amount of grain and some tea, also some personal belongings." She set the two baskets down for him and added, "Nihonto, I think you should buy some meat on the way out, and probably salt if you don't mind preserving it. She peered behind herself to see if Thorvald was on his way back and sighed, "Markets can be crazy, I had to keep looking over my shoulder to make sure the money hadn't been stolen..."
